Alan, I've got about 185,000 on my '87, not sure exactly how many because the pin that the numbers for the odometer roll on keeps slipping out. I've had it the last four years and with the exception of replacing the main seal three times myself in the last two years, and taking it in tomorrow so someone else can do it the fourth time, I haven't had too much go wrong with it. Viscous coupling is the original as far as I know. Brad Spear '72 Westy '87 Syncro GL |
